Factory tint

I've been noticing quite a few of the later 92-96's with factory tinted windows in the rear, and I think it looks pretty good. Does anyone know about how dark this is? I'm thinking about getting mine done and it seems about right to me.

I think it's 35%.

I had my truck, which is a regular cab, done in 1997. It cost $120 then for 15% tint, and it can cost as much as $150 to do the same job today.

I've "tried" to do some jobs since then on my '84 Dodge, and I have to hand it to the guys who know how to do it professionally.

I have aftermarket tint on mine 94. It is 35 percent on the sides and back. The back window was already factory tinted si its dark. At night you can't see in through the back. makes a nice backdrop for sickers. as son as i get my picks uploaded you can see what i mean.

Tim, I can't get your link to pull up an album.

I definately am going to have it professionally done; I've seen some of the jobs a couple friends have done on theirs'. (But I am sure I could do somewhat better than that ).

I have 5% in the back and 20% up front in my ext cab. It is very nice in the summer and keeps people from looking in during the day and night.

I had all my windows done for about $150 with a lifetime warranty. My tint is by Llumar.
